Raising money for

St Richard's Hospice Foundation

Charity Registration No. 515668

St Richard's Hospice provide free specialist palliative care for patients living with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Each year the hospice team supports over 2,000 patients and family members in Worcestershire. Patients are cared for in Day Hospice, the In-patient Unit or in their own homes by a specialist team including nurses, doctors, social worker, family therapist, counsellors, physiotherapist, occupational therapists and Citizens Advice Bureau worker as well as many trained volunteers. In the In-patient Unit specialist staff are on hand 24 hours a day to manage patients' symptoms and where, if they so choose, patients may spend the last few days of life in comfort and dignity. St Richard's is grateful for all donations towards the £4.8m they need to raise this year to continue their work.

My story

Thank you very much for visiting my fundraising page.

On Thursday 10th September I begin my cycle ride in John o' Groats, cycling down the entire length of Great Britain, before finishing in Land's End on Friday 18th September. That works out at just over 100 miles per day, not including orientation time (i.e. getting lost).

I'm undertaking this challenge to raise funds for St Richard's Hospice. St Richard's is a charity very close to my heart, working in my home county of Worcestershire to provide palliative care and support to people suffering from cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Earlier this year a close family friend was admitted to their care, and I know she found the hospice to be an invaluable resource in guiding her and her family through a very uncertain period.

Any funds raised will be directed towards providing a similar level of care for others who are unfortunate enough to find themselves in a similar situation.

You can follow the progress I'm making by checking my website.

Thank you for your support.
